As Gregory indicated already, EXIF data is not a really good way to
add attribution metadata to files.

However, i think some way to make it easier for people to add images
to their pages using some kind of easy tool on the File: page itself,
akin to the YouTube embed code is a pretty good idea. Maybe some kind
of iframe or Javascript gadget would be nice, that could also be used
for attribution and indicating that more media are available on
Commons.
